Fostex MR-16HD Overview

The Fostex MR-16HD is an inexpensive 16-track desktop digital hard disk recorder with a 40GB hard drive. It offers over seven hours of recording time at 16-bit/44.1 resolution. The unit supports the FAT32 disk format and full professional WAV file recording. The MR-16HD is equipped with phantom power for all four XLR microphone inputs and offers simultaneous recording on up to four tracks.

Those familiar with mixing work surfaces will delight in the knobs, sliders, and easily-navigated user interface of the MR-16HD. Other features include microphone and amplifier simulator processing, onboard reverb and delay effects processors, optical and USB digital connectors, and dual headphone outputs.
